my players bunch round the ball so they have no pass options and at kick off's often go backwards rather than getting the ball forward..can you help
I have justed started coaching an under 8 team that plays 5-a-side, as is normal with small kids the tendency is to follow the ball around like sheep. How do I get then to maintain their positions and move as a unit? What drills would be useful to teach positional awareness and team play?thanks
Looking for a some drills to help under 8 and 9's to stop crowding round the ball and to pass and move into space
in more ways than one
